Daily Ponderings: Callings of God

Moroni 3:4
And after this manner did they ordain priests and teachers, according to the gifts and callings of God unto men; and they ordained them by the power of the Holy Ghost, which was in them.

He will help me know how to do my calling if I ask.

Daily Ponderings: Wherefore We Know

Moroni 4:1
The manner of their elders and priests administering the flesh and blood of Christ unto the church; and they administered it according to the commandments of Christ; wherefore we know the manner to be true; and the elder or priest did minister it

I should remeber the things that have happened to me and use them to empower me.

Time

If I try, there is time.

Daily Ponderings: In the Name of Jesus Christ

Moroni 3:3
In the name of Jesus Christ I ordain you to be a priest (or if he be a teacher, I ordain you to be a teacher) to preach repentance and remission of sins through Jesus Christ, by the endurance of faith on his name to the end. Amen.

I can do all that I do in His name.

This I Know: Forward

I can always make progress, no matter how small. Always.

Daily Ponderings: After They Had Prayed

Moroni 3:2
After they had prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ, they laid their hands upon them, and said:

I should ask for what I want.

This I Know: Affection

I can be affectionate to my wife. Every moment is an opportunity.

Daily Ponderings: On As Many As They Laid Their Hands

Moroni 2:3
Now Christ spake these words unto them at the time of his first appearing; and the multitude heard it not, but the disciples heard it; and on as many as they laid their hands, fell the Holy Ghost.

I should try to be a blessing to those I come in contact with. He can help me know how if I ask.

Daily Ponderings: In My Name

Moroni 2:2
And he called them by name, saying: Ye shall call on the Father in my name, in mighty prayer; and after ye have done this ye shall have power that to him upon whom ye shall lay your hands, ye shall give the Holy Ghost; and in my name shall ye give it, for thus do mine apostles.

I should act so as to be mistaken for Him

Daily Ponderings: Whom He Had Chosen

Moroni 2:1
The words of Christ, which he spake unto his disciples, the twelve whom he had chosen, as he laid his hands upon them

I should take care of the things I have chosen. He can show me how if I ask.

Bless You With Peace

From Russell M. Nelson's October 2024 "The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again":
"He will bless you with peace, even amidst chaos."

Peace is always a possible choice

Called, Chosen, and Faithful

From Russell M. Nelson's October 2024 "The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again":
"Those who are with Him will be "called, chosen, and faithful.""

To be with Him in the second coming, I have to call myself, choose myself, and exercise faith by following empowering beliefs.

Second Coming

From Russell M. Nelson's October 2024 "The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again":
"...prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord!"

When He was here, there was someone on Earth who was unfailingly kind. When I am unfailingly kind, then He has come again.

Joyful Days

From Karl D. Hurst's October 2024 "God's Favourite":
"...our joyful days, when there is sunshine in the sky..."

When things are going well, I should anchor that feeling. This is what the act of praying in gratitude does.

Time

From a talk by Kristen Gustafson:
"If I give more time to Him, he will multiply the remainder"

This I Know: Recovery

Temporary setbacks are only temporary. I can choose to start moving forward again.

Daily Ponderings: Perhaps They May Be of Worth

Moroni 1:4
Wherefore, I write a few more things, contrary to that which I had supposed; for I had supposed not to have written any more; but I write a few more things, that perhaps they may be of worth unto my brethren, the Lamanites, in some future day, according to the will of the Lord.

I should focus on things which may be of worth

This I Know: Time

If I act, there will be time.

Daily Ponderings: Mine Own Life

Moroni 1:3
And I, Moroni, will not deny the Christ; wherefore, I wander whithersoever I can for the safety of mine own life.

My life is precious to Him, and He will help me to live happily if I ask.

This I Know: Better

I can take the time to make my life better.
